FUN MONDAY - Favourite Jewelry

Do you have a piece of jewelry or other item that holds great personal significance for you, and that you wear or keep with you every day? Show us a photo of your talisman, and tell us why it is so important to you.

That is rather difficult for me because I don't have any piece of jewelry which has a great personal significance for me. All the jewlery I have I love the same way.

When I was younger I loved gold and real precious stones. Since a few years they are all in a safe because I don't wear them anymore. I switched over to silver and semi precious stones. I did the opposite of what women usually do, they wear silver when young and gold when old.

Zircon and moonstone

This ring I bought here (in Egypt) last year and wear it every day. There are 4 others but I have no picture of them.

During the 7 times I stayed in Egypt I bought these necklaces and armlets with turquoises, corals and mother of pearl stones. They have beautiful jewelery for all tastes and not expensive at all compared to Belgium, Italy, or Germany.

Hematite and turquoises

Agates and Malachite

Lapis Lazuli

Citrine

On all these items my heart hangs on, but there is nothing special to tell about them. Usually they were Birthday or Christmas gifts (which I choose myself of course, hehe)

LOL! You are such a jewelry person! You always have jewelry on... I only own a few pieces - and nothing really spectacular. The only that I would highlight would be my two crosses ... the silver one, and the pink one from you! Even my wedding ring is very UNremarkable... microscopic stone! I wish I had gotten a sapphire instead - but that wasn't DONE back then! I really don't care for diamonds...

About Me

I love painting, writing, travelling and photography. My favorit models are my four cats which I observe with fun and humor. I am German, married to an Italian and we live in Waterloo (15 km from Brussels) / Belgium since many years. Waterloo is a famous place to many tourists, because Napoleon lost his battle here against Wellington and other European countries.
